iChat Pro makes iChat look like Adium

How can you make iChat look like Adium? Adium has hundreds of different themes to choose from.

surely the biggest draw for Adium is the multiple protocols supported (MSN, AIM, ICQ, Yahoo etc etc).

I want to go back to ichat I really do - but until the multi-IM's come into effect it's a no go. I did do the Jabber thing to get MSN & google people on my ichat- but it wasn't pretty.

I was almost convinced that apple & co would introduce that functionality into Leopard - but alas....

you can auto-hide the buddy list with chax

I wish that there were a way to use MSN in iChat without doing the Jabber method.

does it Growl?

Few suggestions! The installer shouldn't autoload with mounting the image. This encourages the "Agree", "Yes" and click crowd to install and NOT back a backup. There is no reason the installer itself can not create a backup and replace the dock icon as part of the install or add another confirming dialog as in "Are you sure...have you created a backup...?'. This is important for a mod with no uninstaller.

Very nice! Between this and Chax, iChat is even better!

My only issue is that it changes the video icon next to your image, but keeps the icons in the buddy list the same.

Chax has had this feature and more for some time. It is easily unistallable and seems to stay out of the way. I've been using it for months and have had no complaints.

I utterly adore Adium. That being said, the voice and video chat functionality, not to mention the trick screen and video sharing features of iChat are very cool. Plus, I just plain love all the scripts I run on Adium.

Tab browsing? i need that. Does it have that?
